Fujiwara Hidesato formed a samurai group during the Heian period when the aristocrats were at the center. He settled the Rebellion of Taira no Masakado. He was a warlord who was praised as the rise of the samurai by being promoted to the commander-in-chief of the defense of the north, which is known as the highest honorary officer of samurai in both Kokushi of Shimotsuke (Tochigi prefecture )and Musashi (Tokyo, Saitama, Kanagawa). Moreover, his strength was told in some legends such as " Killing Omi's Great centipede" and " Killing Utsunomiya's Doumeki ". However, there are only a few people who convey the existence of Fujiwara Hidesato now.

By recognizing Fujiwara Hidesato and the "Hidesato-Ryu" clan that formed the foundation of each city in Tochigi Prefecture, we cultivate a Civic Pride and send a message it to the whole world as the pride of Tochigi, and to promote Tochigi's brand and tourism promotion. We will carry out regional revitalization activities!
